Self Employed Super Contributions
My Partner and I own a small business. We do not have employees and do not draw a wage.
I would like to pay some super into each of our accounts. I have made a payment via bpay.
Do I just add the super fund as a supplier and enter it via make payment selecting the superannuation account? Is this the correct way?
I'll be grateful for any advise given to help me out. Thanks.

Did you receive or found out the answer to this Jaxsta?
I do have the same question, how to deal with voluntary superannuation contribution when self employed.

Hi Peter,
After speaking with my accountant he advised to create a supplier as the super fund. Then to create an account under drawings - sub account personal super contributions. He'd then recognise it and allocate at tax time accordingly.

But don't you have to report these payments via a payroll lodgement?
I have a similar question - but do have wages - but the super amount is fixed.
How do I submit STP for the weekly wages, but account for the fact that super does not match the 10% SGC. How do I show that a director is paid a super amount difference and lodge it via STP - so that is in effect salary sacrifice.

Setup a SS deduction in the employees name and it will appear as RESC on ‘payment summaries’. I would enter the amount in wages and then deduct as SS. This can also reduce the tax if you wish, I would probably confirm with accountant how he wants it handled
